Is it just me, or has the prices of accommodation on campus gone way up this year?

Yeah, pretty sure they have.

Under the guise of water charges no doubt.

I've no idea but Kilmurry is now €4160 for the year... which is slightly above what I can afford but what other choice have I got now.

Came in to study, the whole place seems empty/shutdown. Can't get into AMO61, the library or any tutorial rooms.

Eire-Dearg · 23-08-2014 11:58AM

Is it just me or are there no repeat exam papers on Sharepoint?

Definitely not in the Accounting & Finance section.

Have they moved them?

Copper_pipe · 23-08-2014 12:23PM

Is it normal for the repeat Exam to be nothing like the summer exam?

The MA4602 is way different (Making reference to this years exam and the sample paper for this exam)

Yeah that's the one. What is the module about?

wnolan1992 · 23-08-2014 05:32PM

Somebody please explain to me the logic of having to write 4 pages of Opportunities for Learning, and then do the Post Coop Assessment form? They seem pretty identical to me...

Outcome based learning laboratory. It's for 2nd year electronics and 3rd year mobile comms. The lads last year made a weather station thing with ( I think ) an arduino. I've that lab too.

I just got an email saying to register with core portal but the link just times out. Anyone know if it's something about my computer or should I sent an email back saying something has gone wrong?

Is that for being paid from the college? I know I had to do it for orientation guide a couple of years ago but can't remember the name of it.

If that's the one it is then you have to do it on a college computer.

Don't try to refresh the page or even go back to a previous page.

Hey guys,

You know if you get a spare ticket for the grad, can you just sit with the rest of your family since the seats say 'unreserved' or do you have to follow the number on the ticket but as I said it says unreserved.

I am guessing the number on the ticket is more for UL than anything so they know how many guests will be there?

Thanks for the help

Cossax · 27-08-2014 11:27PM

It's all unreserved, people can sit wherever.

seachto7 · 28-08-2014 02:58AM

Been in the post grad reading room since 9 30 am yesterday. One final push with the masters dissertation!

I'm f*cking shattered.

iLaura · 29-08-2014 05:01PM

Waited almost an hour today to get the bus into town today, and when the Bus Eireann one arrived so did the euro bus after no sign of any of them. Then two stops later another BE bus pulls up beside us with no one on it while the one I was on was jam packed. Then we were made get off and get another bus to go out to Raheen. Grrr...

The dire bus service is one of the reasons the city lacks so much energy. It can't tap into the student base at all. It's quite a shame when you compare it to the vibrancy of Galway.

garv123 · 29-08-2014 06:30PM

twice ive left to get the 4 bus at the station at 2 and waited so long at the bus stop outside elm park I missed the bus home.

Its pretty disgraceful

wnolan1992 · 29-08-2014 08:27PM

When I started Co-op, I'd meet my lift into work at the bus stop by the East Gate. Some mornings the bus would be there at 8:45, other mornings it didn't arrive 'til after 9.

They're an efficient bunch. :P

I thought for sure that the real time displays were going to fix all of those problems...how foolish I was :rolleyes:

Anyone know If they search you for drink going into the grad ball?

They most likely search any bags going in so more for girls but if you look suspicious or are holding something in your coat then they may? That's just a guess though. I don't think it'll be too strict but again guesswork

I went on their website to inform them that the real time display wasn't working - and the complaint button on their website was conveniently broken. The real time display said a bus would arrive in 20 minutes, it eventually went to 'due' and disappeared - the bus in question didn't exist.

I live by a stop, and have noticed that their latest system is to send two buses around within a minute of each other. I can't understand why they don't have the buses set to go around at different times, thus reducing the waiting times.

Portal down for anyone else?

Sound.

Feck sake, had hoped to get the fees sorted today.

Aragneer · 31-08-2014 05:44PM

Moved in to Plassey today...

Black mould in the shower, paint peeling and broken drawers...Thanks Plassey!
Complaints will be in tomorrow.

Supermensch · 31-08-2014 07:06PM

Student portal seems to be back. Does anyone know if it's ok to just pay the fees for one semester now, or do I need to pay for the entire year now?EDIT: never mind, just saw the due dates next to the fees on the site.

Aragneer · 31-08-2014 07:08PM

When does the Online Finance Task have to be completed by?
